AA and AAA rechargeable battery organizer

thingiverse

This item was designed to store rechargeable batteries and/or alkaline batteries and prevent accidental discharge from inadvertent contact of opposing terminals. These units are intentionally short to keep the filament used to a minimum. As a result, these holders are only 16mm high for the AA batteries and 14mm for the AAA batteries. This shorter height supports only about the bottom third of the battery. This is enough to be stable but, not waste material. I created 2 different files. V1 - Is a plain holder with no text. V2 - Has the word "Rechargeables" embossed in the front of the holder. If, you want to differentiate holders. Note: As I was printing this item I found the holes were always a touch smaller, 0.25mm, than the design. As a result, these holes are designed a touch oversized. This may have been a result of the fact that I was trying to get shorter printing times at lower resolution. Know it is designed for this and take advantage of the lower resolution and faster print times. At higher resolution and/or slower printing I expect the holes will be slightly oversized by 0.25mm. If you have Ideas for improvements, feel free to share them with me.
